NTPC’s upcoming 1,600 megawatt (Mw) Lara thermal power plant in Chhattisgarh’s Raigarh district will be laced with ultra-supercritical technology.
Last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for stage-II (2×800 Mw) of the project. He also dedicated stage-I (2×800 Mw) of NTPC’s Lara super thermal power station.
While stage-I of the station is built with an investment of approximately Rs 15,800 crore, the stage-II will be constructed on the available land of stage-I. Thus, no additional land will be required for the expansion. Stage-II will entail an investment of Rs 15,530 crore, an NTPC spokesperson said.
